  You need an adaptor.

  See if your laptop has DisplayPort. Most likely the PC doesn't have Mini DisplayPort, so you'll need a DisplayPort to MiniDisplayPort adaptor. Or if you have DVI, then you'll need a DVI to MiniDisplayPort adaptor. I'm connecting two ACD's to a MBP using a Matrox DisplayPort GXM and two DisplayPort to MiniDisplayPort adaptors. It works great.

  You can find pretty much any adaptor here >

  • MiniDisplayPort is the kind of interface the ACD uses. Its the plug that one of the cords from the ACD.– fyoucher11/3
